Added this to my reference shelf. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. If you're drawn to this subject, don't hesitate.
Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions.
My book club chose this last month. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. Glad I finally picked this up.
